I've tried it with both oat and pea milk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pumpkin puree <\/strong>- Use canned or homemade pumpkin puree.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medjool dates<\/strong> - Other types of dates also work great. I prefer Medjool dates in this recipe because of their wonderful caramel flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cocoa powder <\/strong>- Make sure it is unsweetened. You can also use cacao.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract<\/strong> - Not a must, but I think cocoa and vanilla go really well together. I use a bourbon vanilla extract. Alternatively, you can also use vanilla poweder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ceylon cinnamon <\/strong>- This is also optional, but adds even more spice and goes well with the pumpkin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now there's not much left to say. Ideally, you already have all the ingredients waiting for you in your pantry. Put everything in the blender, blend and then heat - and sip away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6314.jpg\" alt=\"vegan hot chocolate recipe healthy\" class=\"wp-image-2649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6314.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6314-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6314-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6314-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6314-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6314-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6314-180x240.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"http:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6313.jpg\" alt=\"healthy hot chocolate recipe\" class=\"wp-image-2648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6313.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6313-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6313-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6313-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6313-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6313-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/kurbis-hot-chocolate-vegan-6313-180x240.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-group-quote-bubble is-style-feast-inline-heading-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"tipps\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tipps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For an <strong>ultra-creamy<\/strong> experience, replace \u2153 to \u00bd of the plant-milk with canned <strong>coconut milk<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For special moments: Top your hot chocolate with a dollop of <strong>vegan whipped cream<\/strong> or a few <strong>vegan marshmallows.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you <strong>don't have a high-speed blender,<\/strong> cut the dates into smaller pieces and soak them in boiling water for approx. 10 minutes before blending.

I prefer Medjool dates in this recipe because of their caramelly flavor. However, you can also use Deglet Nour dates, for example, or alternatively use date sugar which is simply powdered dates.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1730621819087\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I store leftovers?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. If you then get a craving for hot chocolate, stir and heat up the desired amount in a small pot or the microwave.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1730621866451\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">I don't have a high-speed blender - what now?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you don't have a powerful blender or just an immersion blender, cut the dates into smaller pieces and soak them in boiling water for about 10 minutes before blending until smooth. Alternatively, you can also use date sugar. In this case, all you need to do is stir all the ingredients together in a saucepan.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#f6f7f1\">I hope you\u2019ll give this healthy vegan hot chocolate recipe with pumpkin a try.
